ABSTRACT

The present invention describes novel antiinfective compounds, process for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel compounds of general formula (I), their analogs, their derivatives, their stereoisomers, tautomeric forms, novel intermediates involved in their synthesis, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The present invention also relates to a process of preparing compounds of general formula (I), their analogs, their derivatives, their stereoisomers, their tautomeric forms, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and novel intermediates

involved in their synthesis.

The compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of a number of human and veterinary pathogens, including aerobic as well as anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Antibiotic resistance is a serious concern globally as it would result in strains against which currently available antibacterial agents will be ineffective. In general, bacterial pathogens may be classified as either Gram-positive or Gram-negative pathogens. Antibiotic compounds with effective activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens are generally regarded as having a broad spectrum of activity. The compounds of the present invention though being primarily effective against Gram-positive pathogens are also effective against certain Gram-negative pathogens.

Gram-positive pathogens, for example Staphylococci, Enterococci, Streptococci and Mycobacteria, are particularly important because of the development of resistant strains which are both difficult to treat and difficult to eradicate from the hospital environment once established. Examples of such strains are methicillin resistant staphylococcus (MRSA), methicillin resistant coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCNS), penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and multiply resistant Enterococcus faecium and so on.

Antibacterial agents containing an oxazolidinone ring have been described in J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 2569-78 (Gregory W. A. et. al) and J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 1156-65 (Chung-Ho Park et. al). Also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,705,799 and 5,523,403 and EP0316594 disclose substituted phenyl-2-oxazolidinones. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,948,801, 5,254,577 & 5,130,316 discloses arylbenzene oxazolidinyl compounds including substituted or unsubstituted phenyl and pyridyl groups. Heteroaryl-oxazolidinones having one to three atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen are described in EP 0697412, 0694544, 0694543 & 0693491. Further, oxazolidinone derivatives useful as antibacterial agents are described in WO0218354, WO0218353, WO 0215980, WO 0220515, WO 0206278, WO 0181350, WO 0032599, WO 9807708, WO 9730981, WO 9721708, WO 9710235, WO 9709328, WO 9719089, WO 9710223, WO 9615130, WO 9613502, WO 9514684, WO 9507271, WO 9413649, WO9323384, WO 9309103, WO 9002744, U.S. Pat. No. 5,700,799, U.S. Pat. No. 4,801,600, U.S. Pat. No. 4,921,869, EP 0353781, EP 0316594, EP312000 etc.

Due to increase in antibiotic resistance there is a continuous need to develop more effective medicines suitable against such pathogenic organisms.

It will be appreciated that the above-mentioned preparation of the compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable solvates thereof employs (1d) or (1b) as a pure enantiomer to afford the compound of formula (I) as a single stereoisomer. Favorably, in a compound of formula (I) the preferred configuration at C-5 of the oxazolidinone ring of compounds claimed in the invention is (S)-under the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog nomenclature system. Since this (S)-enantiomer which is pharmacologically active. The racemic mixture is useful in the same way and for the same purpose as the pure (S)-enantiomers the difference lies in the fact that double as much racemic material will be required to produce the same antibacterial effect.

Because carbon-carbon double bond also exists in the compounds, the invention contemplates various geometric isomers and mixtures thereof resulting from the arrangement of substituents around these carbon-carbon double bonds. These substituents are designated as being in the E or Z configuration wherein the term “E” refers to higher order substituents on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond, and the term “Z” refers to higher order substituents on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond A thorough discussion of E and Z isomerism is provided in “Advanced Organic Chemistry. Reaction, Mechanisms, and Structure”, 4^(th) ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1992, pp. 109-112.

Besides being useful for human treatment, these compounds are also useful for veterinary treatment of companion animals, exotic animals and farm animals including mammals, rodents, and the like. More preferred animals include horses, dogs and cats.

For the treatment of any of the above-mentioned diseases the compounds of formula (I) may be administered, for example, orally, topically, parenterally, in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles.

The pharmaceutical composition is provided by employing conventional techniques. Preferably the composition is in unit dosage form containing an effective amount of the active component, that is, the compounds of formula I according to this invention.

The quantity of active component, that is, the compounds of formula I according to this invention, in the pharmaceutical composition and unit dosage form thereof may be varied or adjusted widely depending upon the particular application method, the potency of the particular compound and the desired concentration. Generally, the quantity of active component will range between 0.5% to 90% by weight of the composition.

In therapeutic use for treating bacterial infections in humans and animals that have been diagnosed with having bacterial infections, the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions thereof will be administered orally, parenterally and/or topically at a dosage to obtain and maintain a concentration, that is, an amount, or blood-level of active component in the animal undergoing treatment which will be antibacterially active. Generally, such antibacterially effective amount of dosage of active component will be in the range of about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg, more preferably about 3.0 to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day. However, it should be appreciated that the dosages may vary depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the bacterial infection, and the particular compound being used. Also, it must be understood that the initial dosage administered may be increased beyond the upper level in order to rapidly achieve the desired blood level or the initial dosage may be smaller than the optimum and the and the daily dosage may be progressively increased during the course of treatment depending on the particular situation. If desired, the daily dose may also, be divided into multiple doses for administered, e.g. two to four times per day.

The compounds of the present invention may be administered alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents by any of the routes as previously indicated, in single or multiple doses. More specifically, the novel compounds described in the invention can be administered in a wide variety of different dosage forms, i.e., they may be combined with various pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, trochees, hard candies, powders, sprays, creams, salves, suppositories, jellies, gels, pastes, lotions, ointments, aqueous suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups, and the like. The carriers may include solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various nontoxic organic solvents etc. Moreover, for oral consumption, the pharmaceutical compositions can be suitably sweetened and/or flavored. In general, the therapeutically-effective compounds as described in the invention are present in the compositions at concentration levels ranging from 5% to 60% by weir, preferably 10% to 50% by weight.

For oral administration, the tablets may be combined with various excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dipotassium phosphate and glycine along with various disintegrants such as starch more preferably corn, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, sodium carbonate and certain complex sillicates; together with binders like polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia, humectants such as for example, glycerol; solution retarding agents, such as, for example paraffin; absorption accelerators such as, for example, quartenary ammonium compounds; wetting agents like cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; absorbents like kaolin and bentonite clay. Additionally, magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, calcium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof are often added as lubricating agents for tabletting purposes. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Similar type of solid compositions may also be employed as fillers and excipients in soft and hard gelatine capsules; preferred materials includes lactose, milk sugar or high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.

The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form using one or more of the excipients noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and the granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings which are well known in the field of pharmaceutical formulation art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose and starch. They may also contain, additional substances for e.g. tableting lubricants and other substances like magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the formulation may also contain buffering agents. They may also be so formulated that they release the active ingredient(s) only or preferentially in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally in a delayed manner. The same may be achieved using embedded agents like, for example, polymeric substances and waxes.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. For such oral consumption it is desirable to combine the active ingredient with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes, if so desired. The diluents may be selected from water, ethanol, propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, 1,3 butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils for e.g. cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, sesame oils and the like, glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and esters of fatty acids like sorbitan and various combination thereof. For mammals other than humans, the composition of the active substance are suitably modified.

For parenteral administration, the solutions of the compound is prepared in either sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol. The aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered (preferably pH>8) if necessary, and the diluent should be first rendered isotonic. The aqueous solutions are suitable for intravenous injection purposes while the oily solutions are suitable for intra-articular, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection purposes. The aforesaid compositions can be readily prepared under sterile conditions following well known standard pharmaceutical techniques by persons skilled in the art.

For buccal administration the composition may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.

For transdermal and topical administration; the dosage forms will include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays and inhalants. Transdermal patches may be prepared following standard drug delivery techniques and applied to the skin of a mammal, preferably a human or a dog, to be treated. Ophthalmic solutions, ear drops, eye ointments, powders can also be used as a medium of providing therapeutic dosages to the patients as will be necessary.

The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may, in addition to the active ingredient, contain excipients like animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc, zinc oxide or their mixtures.

Powders and sprays may contain, in addition to the active substance, excipients like lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminium hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or their mixtures. Sprays will additionally contain propellants like chlorofluorohydrocarbons.

The pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of the present invention are useful antibacterial agents having a good spectrum of activity in vitro and against standard Gram-positive organisms, which are used to screen for activity against pathogenic bacteria. Notably, the pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of the present invention show activity against enterococci, pneumococci, and methicillin resistant strains of S.aureus and coagulase negative staphylococci, together with morganella strains. The antibacterial spectrum and potency of a particular compound may be determined in a standard test system. The activity is described in terms of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined by microbroth dilution technique as per NCCLS standards.

Determination of Antibacterial Activity:

The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC's) of the compounds for the microorganisms listed in Table A were determined by preparing working solution for each compound of concentration of 128 μg/ml after dissolving it in DMSO. Two-fold serial dilution of the above solution was prepared in duplicates, using Mueller Hinton Broth, in 96 well Tissue culture plate with cover flat bottom wells to give a final volume of 150 μg/ml and concentration of compound ranging from 64 μg/ml-0.12 μg/ml. 30 μg/ml of Standard suspension of each organism which was prepared with turbidity equivalent to the 1:10 diluted 0.5 McFarland standard with density 10⁷ CFU/ml, was added to each well to get approximately a density of 10⁵ CFU/ml. These 96-well Tissue culture plate containing the test samples and positive and negative controls, were incubated at 37° C. for 16-18 hrs. The wells were visually inspected for growth and were also read at 630 nm by Automated Microplate Reader [(EL800) Trinity biotech.] and the MIC's were recorded as the lowest concentration of drug which inhibits the growth of bacteria. The compounds inhibited the growth of these bacteria with MIC's in a range of about 0.25 μg/ml to about 64 μg/ml.

Thus the compounds are useful for treating bacterial infections such as, but not limited to, those shown below in Table A.
